No, you do not need a vacuum sealer, you can put your food in a ziploc bag, don't seal the bag yet, then slowly put the bag into the water (opening end up) then the air will evacuate the bag. Seal the bag once the water level is at the zipper.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, a vacuum sealer is not needed for the bags. An alternative is what is commonly referred to as the immersion method where you submerge nearly the entire bag with exception of the open end to force the air out of the bag. All the bags I have seen for sous vide / vacuum sealing are BPA free but it's best to check the details before buying them. Additionally, some companies make silicone bags that are washable and reusable.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are a zillion You Tubes about using this thing - no you don't need to buy special anything. Just use ziplocks Push the water out of the bag by almost closing it, submerging it in water and then finishing the close.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do NOT need a vacuum sealer but it does make life easier. You can use a ziplock bag just leave the top open. Have you ever stuck your hand in a bag and then into water? The pressure from the water will seal the bag around the food, just use a chip clip or something to hold the top of the bag to the rim of your pot so water can’t get into it!
